A message for Russell Wilson from his former teammate ahead of the season

Russell Wilson will be playing for a new team in the upcoming season, so it will be somewhat of a fresh start.

The future Hall of Fame quarterback was released by the Denver Broncos after two extremely dismal seasons, which gave him the opportunity to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that had already qualified for the playoffs the previous year.
According to Andrew Mason, linebacker Jonas Griffith, a former teammate, left a message for him: Griffith would want to intercept one of his passes.
Griffith’s opportunity will present itself in Week 2, when his Broncos play the Steelers of Wilson.

Many were calling the Broncos Super Bowl contenders when Wilson landed there two years ago, but the reality is that they simply didn’t have enough next-level players around him to make good on those expectations, especially on offense.

They went 5-12 in 2022 and had one of the worst offenses in NFL history, and despite the hiring of former Super Bowl-winning head coach Sean Payton prior to last season, they only improved by three wins.

It is now the Bo Nix era in Denver, and while he could become a good quarterback, the team is still far away from making the playoffs for the first time since the 2015 season when it won the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Meanwhile, the Steelers are hoping to become dark horse contenders, but they will have to contend with a black-and-blue AFC North division.
